Ambridge to launch military appreciation program beginning in May

Monday

AMBRIDGE — This spring, the streets of Ambridge will be lined with reminders of those who laid down their lives for the United States.

The borough is launching a military banner program to show appreciation for the men and women who have served in all branches of the military.

The borough's Military Banner Program will honor those who are currently serving in the military and veterans with banners hanging on borough streets between Memorial Day and Veterans Day, borough Manager Joe Kauer said.

"Ambridge borough has always taken great pride in the men and women who have served our country in its times of need," Kauer said in a release. "Now we'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to help us honor your friends and family who have served our great country."

The 24-by-36-inch banners will hang each year, Kauer said. Those who enroll military personnel also will receive two 12-by-18-inch yard banners to display. The military personnel will be highlighted on the borough's military website as well.

There is a one-time cost of $100 to join the program.
